Behavioral
I had a typical onsite interview where they reviewed my background and asked some behavioral questions. The interviewers were pretty friendly overall. I sent thank you emails after the interview, but didn't get a response. A few weeks later, I connected with another applicant who mentioned they also hadn't heard back, and neither had their friends who had interviewed there.

Technical Presentation Behavioral Coding
The hiring process was pretty in-depth. It started with a chat with the hiring manager to see if I was a good fit. Then, I had about five one-hour interviews with different team members and people I might work with. One of those interviews involved a product roadmap task where I had to present my plan to product leaders. Another had me do a hands-on product development exercise to test my skills in talking to customers and iterating quickly. The rest were more about cultural fit with people from related departments. It was a lot of interviews, but it really gave me a clear picture of the team and what would be expected of me.
Confirmed questions1 question
- For a roadmap project, how did you handle prioritizing conflicting initiatives, and how did you defend your choices to product leadership?

Behavioral Presentation Group Case
I had a great time interviewing at ShipStation (Auctane) and now that I'm on the Product team, it's been fun to see it from the other side. My interview process involved several steps, including one-on-one meetings, group interviews with various teams, a hypothetical scenario that didn't require any preparation, and a case presentation that I had about a week to prepare for. The process was efficient, but I felt I had enough time to learn about the company and meet my potential colleagues. The questions and scenarios seemed designed to let me show my strengths.

- Tell me about a time you experienced failure.
